Topic: Best form of gambling Forum: Card Chat

Let me see whether I can settle this argument:

Poker is a game of chance AND a game of skill.

Chance because we depend on the draw of the cards.
Skill because we can manipulate the odds in our favor.

Backgammon, horse racing and the stock market are also these type of games.

Roulette and slot machines are games of chance.

Chess and Tic-Tac-Toe are games of skill (though not at the same level ).

Back to the original question:

I don't know much about horse racing. But from the card games where you can have an edge, I think poker games give the most edge. I am not sure which poker game leads. That would be nice to know.

The edge in the stock market is much smaller than that of poker. On average, you get 10% return per year. If you are the best, like Warren Buffet, you get 22% per year. That's nothing compared to poker.

The edge in blackjack is much smaller than that in poker, especially when they use multiple decks.

What other games are there where one can have an edge?
